BBM Conversation Logs (csv): Analyzing, Cleaning and Using

Hello all, I am new to the world of Blackberries but I'm an owner of a new Tour for the past month or so.

I did some puzzling over the way BBM 5+ saves conversation history. I just thought you all might find the results useful. I created a simple VBScript to convert the BBM-created "CSV" files into a more "clean" format that you can just double-click and open in Excel. In particular, the cleaned file will have human-readable time/date stamps next to each message.

Information about this script is available in this blog post. The script is released to the public domain. You can read more about my analysis of the format of BBM's CSV files in this post.

Just trying to pass info along to avoid others having to go through the same amount of work I did!

Wow! Thank you so much for your work and your detailed instructions! I often wondered what all the gibberish was. Now its so easy to have the log of chats in readable format.
Great job you've done for us!! Thanks again! I have converted my logs into something readable.
